Hi all. I have a Haas TM-2P with a 6k grease packed spindle. The machine is new. On the outside of the enclosure, next to the spray hose, there's a picture forbidding spraying coolant upwards towards the spindle, even with a tool in the spindle. Obviously, I would never do that. But! I have some toolpaths that use small end mills (1/16"), so I need to get that spindle just above the work piece. When I'm machining with coolant, often times, the coolant likes to reflect off the metal and go upwards into the spindle at full force. Whether or not any coolant actually gets into the spindle, I couldn't say.
Should I be concerned about that? Or is that totally normal and nothing to worry about?
Thanks!
